campin and fishin
Hey i was wanting to know if there is any place around here or near pensacola that I can set up a tent on the beach and fish. I wanted to go catch some sharks and stay overnight but wanted to sleep when needed maybe camp a couple days or so. Thanks

Fort Pickens used to have a campground, but I don't know of anywhere you can just set up a campsite on the beach.

I'm afraid camping on the beach has gone to the land of the nickle candy bar. Gone, Gone.

Oh how I miss the Good Old Days!
In the mid '80s, the red sticker (top center of windshield) was $10 per year and permitted driving on beach, camping, whatever at Johnson Beach, Fl.

I believe primitive camping (and shark fishing) is allowed at Johnson's Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore, in Perdido Key, FL. It is about 10-15min. or so past the Flora-Bama.
Park near the end of the main road and walk east past the "camping allowed" sign.
a camping permit is required, available at the entrance gate.

yes, right on the beach
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
